The provenance memory model for C

Ugh. Are unicode variable names allowed in C now? That's horrific.

Horrific? You might not think so if your (human) language used a different alphabet.

Yes but also no. The thing about software is that 90% of it is not culturally bound. If you're writing, say, some tax reporting tool, a grammar reference, or something religious… sure, it makes sense to write that in your language. So, yeah, C should support that.

However, everything else, from spreadsheet software to CAD tools to OS kernels to JavaScript frameworks is universal across cultures and languages. And for better or for worse (I'm not a native English speaker either), the world has gone with English for a lot of code commons.

And the thing with the examples in that post isn't about supporting language diversity, it's math symbols which are noone's native language. And you pretty much can't type them on any keyboard. Which really makes it a rather poor flex IMHO. Did the author reconfigure their keyboard layout for that specific math use case? It can't generically cover "all of math" either. Or did they copy&paste it around? That's just silly.

Because you made false assertions ("And you pretty much can't type them on any keyboard").

Please show me the keyboard layout that has keys for ⁺, ř and ₚ.

(Unless you're being pedantic because I wrote "keyboard" rather than "keyboard layout", or ignored the qualifying "pretty much". In either of those cases you're unwilling to communicate cooperatively and I can't help you.)
